afoigrokerkok took the words right out of my mouth:
College protestors are loud (and often obnoxious), but they represent a small sliver of college students as a whole.
Actually I'm sure college students do lean liberal. But I think that's primarily a function of their age. Young people that age who don't go to college also lean Dem. In fact, I might even guess they're a tad more likely to vote Dem if only because they're more likely to be black or Hispanic and black and Hispanic youth are less likely to attend college (not trying to be racist...just pointing out reality). Romney won even 18-24 yo whites.
Some actual stats (scroll down to "Education" for relevant data):
us conservatives have crazy ideas like... people should be able to prove they are who they say they are to vote....
Republican leaders have confessed that they’re suppressing the vote, it‘s just sad and pathetic that their enablers don’t have the balls to face the truth.
Phyllis Schlafly;
“The reduction in the number of days allowed for early voting is particularly important because early voting plays a major role in Obama’s ground game. The Democrats carried most states that allow many days of early voting, and Obama’s national field director admitted, shortly before last year’s election, that ‘early voting is giving us a solid lead in the battleground states that will decide this election.’
Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai said;
“…their voter identification law would “allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania….”
Former Florida GOP chairman Jim Greer;
“…toldThe Palm Beach Post that the explicit goal of the state’s voter-ID law was Democratic suppression. “The Republican Party, the strategists, the consultants, they firmly believe that early voting is bad for Republican Party candidates,” Greer told the Post. “It’s done for one reason and one reason only ... ‘We’ve got to cut down on early voting because early voting is not good for us,’…”
Wisconsin Republican Legislator Dale Schultz;
“…Asked why his party pushed the bill, Schultz responded, “I am not willing to defend them anymore. I’m just not and I’m embarrassed by this.”
"It’s just, I think, sad when a political party — my political party — has so lost faith in its ideas that it’s pouring all of its energy into election mechanics. And again, I’m a guy who understands and appreciates what we should be doing in order to make sure every vote counts, every vote is legitimate. But that fact is, it ought to be abundantly clear to everybody in this state that there is no massive voter fraud. The only thing that we do have in this state is we have long lines of people who want to vote. And it seems to me that we should be doing everything we can to make it easier, to help these people get their votes counted. And that we should be pitching as political parties our ideas for improving things in the future, rather than mucking around in the mechanics and making it more confrontational at the voting sites and trying to suppress the vote…”
Service = Citizenship!! Only those who serve or have served should be allowed to vote!!!
